The Faceless Man

Liner Notes

These lyrics came to me when I was working really late one night this month. I was in this massive hotel alone and the thought of being bound to a faceless man kind of scared me. I think because of that I had to write about it. I hope the imagery I wrote translates.

Lyrics

I was born behind the wheel of a faceless man.
Somewhere out among the plains
Every night he’d walk to stand beside a gravestone
Of what he referred to as his shame

I never hoped to be blessed here
I might not be blessed where I’m bound
But the less that I revealed my love
The less I found

On the third day of the week, a woman called me
Singing 'Rock of Ages' on the phone
I rode beside a wild beast and a holy priest
They never said where we were going

I know what I know
And it ain't a lot
But the less I give love the less I got
